What I assumed is that WT is not a very good offensive art. From what I have seen it reminds me of Aikido in that regard. Some stuff that works well, but not good for just starting to wail on someone. However, that is just conjuncture on my part.

What I find the most ridiculous is this statement that Boztepe beat up an old man. Cheung was the same age that Boztepe is now and I don't think anyone would make the same claim if some 22 year old challenged him.

I'll take an old quote and apply it to this thread:

"Wing Chun is good for 2 things; Jack and ****."

"Do not become entranced by impractical or useless movements. Do not be categorized as one who "Learns all there is to know about less and less until he ends up learning everything there is to know about nothing." -Ed Parker
